For Society St. Vincent de Paul
As in past years, we will be donating any additional items that we receive that don’t make it into our bags, to the Society of St. Vincent De Paul, to give to the less fortunate in Edmonton. The Society of St. Vincent de Paul (SSVP) is a Christian organization that offers help to all people in need regardless of their race, religion or ethnicity.. Please visit their website to make a donation at anytime throughout the year.
